ZhiZhi

Wang

Wang sat out the past five contests with lower back spasms. He won’t get much playing time.

Even with Michael Olowokandi out, Zhizhi has yet to make much of a contribution with the Clippers. It says a lot that the team would rather have Cherokee Parks on their active roster.

Wang has averaged 2.2 points in 18 games.

With Alonzo Mourning now part of the Heat bench, Zhi-Zhi’s illness could sideline him for quite some time.

Chris Kaman also sat out the game, but even with two centers out, Olden Polynice didn’t get a chance to play against the Kings. Marvin Ely (four points, eight rebounds and two blocks in 19 minutes) and Predrag Drobnjak (12 points, eight rebounds in 28 minutes) handled the center position for the Clippers.

Zhizhi didn’t play Tuesday because of a sprained ankle.

Wang was only in the second season of the three-year, $6 million deal he signed with the Clippers, but he never really fit in with the team. Because he’s a big man with decent range, he’ll get picked up.

Wang averaged 3.4 points and 1.3 rebounds in 11 games with the Heat this season.

He has turf toe and may not see action again this season.

''He is not physically in condition to play,’' Van Gundy said. ''And he’s not ready in terms of being knowledgeable enough in what we’re doing, either.’' Wang is buried for the moment behind Brian Grant and Loren Woods.
